Active Release Therapy

The active release technique is a treatment that is used to treat the soft tissues in your body. Both movement and manipulation are used during active release therapy. It is a technique that has been around for over 30 years. It works by breaking scar tissue up and helping promote faster healing of injuries and pain. It does this by bringing more blood flow to areas where it's needed. If you are looking for treatment, us here at Beverly Hills Comprehensive Medical Group.

Benefits of Active Release Technique

Chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, and physicians are all trained to perform ART on patients. It was first used by a chiropractor for the treatment of soft tissue disorders for athletes. Since then, it has been used to treat millions of different people. The mentioned providers use active release therapy for the treatment of headaches, and back pain.

Some of the main benefits are as follows:

• Decreases lower back pain
• Increases flexibility
• Increases range of motion
• Improves neck pain (chronic)
• Carpal tunnel management
• Shin splints management
• Plantar fasciitis management
• Tension headache relief
• Sciatic symptom improvement
• Tennis elbow management

What to Expect During Treatment

You can expect a lot of pressure during ART that can be painful. For those that do not have a tolerance for pain, they may find that treatments tend to be uncomfortable. Keep in mind though, that the benefits outweigh the pain that you may experience during your session. Some people may only need just one session while others may benefit from more than one session.

Only certified providers should perform ART. Once given, it is a very effective treatment and can work by giving you your range of motion back so that you can resume your activities.
